Usefu, and Hu.tfui Medicines.

There IS a certain class of remedies tor constipation absolutely useless. These are boluses and portions made in great part of podophyllin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge. and other worth less ingredients. The damage they do to the stomachs of those who use them is incalculable. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but always do so violently and profusely. and be- side, gripe the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both them and the stomach. Better far to use the agree able md salutary aperient, Hostel. ter's Stomach Bitters, the laxative effect of which is never preceded by pain, or accompanied by convulsive, violent action of the bowels. On the conttary, it invigorates those organs, the stomach and the entire system. As a means of curing and preventing malarial levers, no medicine can compare with 1t, and 1t remedies nervous debility, rhuematism, kidney and bladder inactivity, and other Tn. organic ailments.

The successful working of the high licenae law in Ilinols has efiectually squelebed tho Prohibition movement in that State. The law is in fact a combination of high license and local option, It tlevies uniform hCense of $500 upon liquor.selhng and of $l50 upon beer-seling, but permits any community to increase these figures by majority vote, In many eoun- ties the license has been raised from 5000 to S25Oo. The effect tho law has had in Chicago, where ths license IS $500, is shown by the following com parisou; When the population was 450,000 there were $500 saloons in the city, yielding a revenue of $200 .000 per year Now with more than 700,- 0ee inhabitants there are only $500 saloons, she revenue from which amounts yearly to Sl,750000 In the whole State the number of saloons had decreased over 5000, and the rev enue from the liquor trafSic has been increased from S700,00O to nearly S5,- 100000.
